PROFILE - LYNNE BOYES
My venture into the world of thermal imaging and Ozone therapy springs from a deeply personal journey, one marked by trials and a fierce determination to reclaim my health. At 19, I faced the daunting challenge of a fractured spine in three places. Just two years later, a collision with a drunk driver left me with injuries to my head, neck, chest, and legs. Migraines became
an unwelcome companion, erasing whole days from my memory. Then, in 2008, an embolism struck, a consequence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) wreaking havoc on my heart. Ablation surgery followed, but my resilient heart quickly found its own bypass. The relentless battle against SLE, heart issues, and DCIS in one breast persisted for years, until a pivotal decision to transition from pharmaceuticals to alternative therapies changed everything. Ozone Therapy and Thermography became my newfound allies in my fight for health and vitality. Through these transformative practices, I discovered a path to healing that resonated with my body in a way that conventional treatments never had. Now, as a dedicated Certified Clinical Thermographer and Ozone practitioner, my mission is: to arm women with vital information, to inspire them to embrace healthier lifestyles, and to stand vigilant against the early signs of disease. Thermography, in particular, plays a crucial role by spotlighting abnormal inflammation, a precursor to many diseases. It unveils physiological shifts within the body, often preceding changes in anatomy. Its non-contact, non-invasive, and non-radioactive nature makes it a powerful tool. With the alarming rise in breast disease, I firmly believe that prevention holds greater value than cure. More and more women are incorporating thermograms into their annual check-ups, recognizing that an ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure. It's a privilege to share the effectiveness and accessibility of these therapies with others, knowing that they too can find their path to healing and renewed vitality. Lynne ran her practice for 8 years, from Weleda Pharmacy in Pineslopes Centre Fourways but has recently relocated to Hilton Kzn. Her mission is to empower women with important information that will motivate them to make healthy life-style choices in the hope of preventing disease or alerting them to the development of disease. Clinical Thermography - A GENTLE OUNCE OF PREVENTION
With the incidence of breast cancer on the rise prevention is now considered more valuable than cure. More and more women are now including the option of a thermogram in their annual check-up. Thermography can detect any inflammatory condition and is ideal for monitoring breast health. I believe in thermography, not only because it does not involve painful compression of breast tissue, which can lead to a lethal spread of cancerous cells should they exist, but more importantly because it does not radiate the breasts. Breast Thermography is a Non-Contact, Non-Invasive, Non-Radioactive Imaging technology that works under the laws of physics of thermodynamics and electromagnetic energy. This means that the concept of thermography is actual, proven science and physics that is being used in almost every aspect of our everyday lives whether we know it or not. There can be no dispute that the science of thermography is true and solid. Thermography has proven to be invaluable in almost every application that the analysis of temperature function is important. Why should medicine be any different? The use of thermography in breast imaging is to view the thermal patterns and temperatures of the breast and surrounding relevant areas of a woman’s body. Breast Thermography is a test of function and not structure. This means that it detects how the body is reacting to certain conditions. It does not detect actual structural problems such as tumors, lumps, cysts, fibroadenomas, etc. Rather, it sees how the body is reacting to these structural problems. Or in other words, Breast Thermography looks for signs of abnormal breast function. Thermography is in essence similar to the common practice of taking a patient’s temperature as one of their vital signs. Taking your temperature does not tell what disease is present; it tells you that there is a functional problem that needs to be investigated more deeply. However, an increase in core temperature is often an early warning sign that some sort of internal condition exists. Breast Thermography works in the same manner and with the same philosophy. Breast Thermography is not a stand-alone test and you will most likely have to use other tests such as, ultrasound mammography or MRI to investigate further or confirm what is being seen with thermography. WHY SHOULD WOMEN HAVE THERMOGRAMS? Breast Thermography will look for signs that there might be abnormal function of your breasts. Identifying these signs and knowing about them will give you a better understanding of what is happening with your breast health. By understanding this concept, you can now use Breast Thermography as a monitoring, early detection, and prevention tool. WHEN SHOULD WOMEN BEGIN WITH THERMOGRAMS? Your breasts are a window into your health. Thermograms ideally should begin at around age 20 when the breasts are fully developed and be monitored every 2 – 3 years for changes in the blood vessels, especially if a woman chooses to use birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy. Women who notice changes in their breasts should consider a thermogram as the start to the investigation process. Thermography provides Active Surveillance. Don’t wait for symptoms, before you start to pay attention to your breast health. If you like this page you should also look at -Therm-OZONE Therapy (drug-free therapies for pain, injury & disease.
